The Louisiana Legislature proved it can circumvent Roe vs Wade for most of the state by framing a pro-life cause as a women's health issue.

Last month, state legislators approved a bill that effectively will put an end to legal abortion services statewide except in Shreveport, if abortion doctors in other parts of the state are unable to meet new stipulations. The bill said nothing about closing clinics, but the requirements it slapped onto abortion doctors will make it impossible for them to practice without privileges from nearby hospitals.
